No, as Valentine's Day is a load of old cobblers what with all that forced 'romance'.


Although today wasn't all bad, the guy who was browsing for cards (yes, Valentine's ones) in the shop on North Cross Road, at the same time as me this morning, was kinda nice...


PS - WTII? :-S


Katie :))

Jeez, I thought 30-40 seconds was stretching it a bit !!


Tells every woman on the forum a lot about you (Said the queen)


no substitute for a young stiff beau with a penchant for throwing his woman to the ground and having his wicked way for a good thirty or forty seconds because you deserve it!


I can't think of anything more repulsive (Said the queen)


Queeny these answers of yours, says it all!

I was in the bar humbug camp - but i had 12 rede roses delivered to work with chocolates today. I have been with the man for 25 years, and it is the first time he has ever done this. IT was absolutely fabulous- I was a bit embarrassed on the tube- but then I realised there were a lot of people looking at me and the flowers and I thought "bloody marvellous". Probably wont happen again,but it made me feel great- especially as he is working away.:))

Just as well they didn't decide to go skiing that year.

LOL

Seems to me those that say 'I don't do Valentine's Day, it's commercial nonsense' better have a rock-steady record in spontaneous non-commercial unreminded romantic efforts for their loved ones.


A thoughtful message in a card is a lovely thing even if not anonymous.


Still, it's not really celebrating Valentine's Day if you're not surreptitiously getting married under threat of death. Anyone?

But you are not buying yourself the card Loz. Are you ?

No but a) it is from me and should therefore reflect me, and b) the missus is of similar views on over-the-top sentimental tat.


Really, some of the cards would make Barbara Cartland retch.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
